Best Answer Explained in Below-:

The correct answer is: 58%

Here's how to calculate the percentage increase:

Find the difference in sales between the two weeks: 19 cars (week 2) - 12 cars (week 1) = 7 cars.
Divide the difference by the number of cars sold in the first week (week 1): 7 cars / 12 cars = 0.5833...
Multiply the result by 100% to express it as a percentage: 0.5833... * 100% = 58.33% (round to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, there was a 58% increase in sales from the first week to the second week.
